While Dwayne Johnson may be smarting from “Baywatch” flopping hard at the box office this past weekend, his star power is only going to take minimal damage. The actor is still the main attraction for HBO‘s “Ballers,” one of the network’s most successful and viewed half-hour shows in years. And the third season is getting ready for more wheeling and dealing.
The series finds The Rock playing financial manager/agent Spencer Strasmore, who only works with the finest athletes in sports. Essentially, the show is like “Entourage” but in a different milieu, with the same beautiful people and beautiful locations to be found in any direction you turn. This time around though, Spencer and his buds have their ambitions aimed far beyond Miami.
“Ballers” season 3 arrives on July 23rd.
